CONFERENCES, GENERAL & CORPORATE EVENTS

My cameras are very quiet and I keep a low profile so as to not create any distractions. Contact me about photographing your event today!

Happy 4th of July!

This year I took some photos of the fireworks and was really impressed by the show in Plymouth, Indiana. I tried some camera techniques that capture the fireworks in new, interesting ways and resemble flowers or colorful, milky watery-looking explosions.
